H. S. This was entirely a new step, but they soon mastered their environment. These energetic “freshies” were ready to participate in all the activities the Freshman year offered. The class was well represented in football and basketball. A Girls’ Soccer team was organized, with Miss Schad as coach. Many of the students made a fine showing in Literary and Choral Club. The election of officers was held at the beginning of the year, with the following iesults: President, George Wilson; Secretary, Virginia Falknor; Treasurer, Richard Wilson. The following September thirty-six members returned to begin their Sophomore year. Part of this term was spent in Lemoine Hall. Our talent still increased and many of the class took part in Glee Club, Orchestra and Operetta. At an early date the class was organized with the following officers: President, Gertrude Boomershine Swallow; Vice-President, Joe Williams; Secretary, Virginia Houser; Treasurer, Harold Pearson. We continued our journey, realizing that only two more years would pass before we would be the big IT. Now we were Juniors, with the same spirit and pep as before. The last semester was spent in the new building. The class published “The Swastikian”, under the direction of Miss Jones. Due to the efficient management and co-operation of the High School, it was a success. The Junior-Senior reception was held in the High School auditorium, May 10, 1928. The banner was restored to the Seniors and all hard feelings were forgotten. The Seniors bade farewell to V. H. S., and welcomed the Juniors in their places. The officers for 1928 were: President, Dorothy Miller; Vice- President, Virginia Houser; Secretary, Jeanette Ash; Treasurer, Geo. Ward. During our journey, several members withdrew. Two Junior boys, namely, Paul Gerlach and Chalmer Hesson, were promoted to our class, making a total of thirty-five. At a meeting, the class chose the following officers: President, Kenneth Coffieid; Vice-President, Lowell Apple; Secretary, Esther Hardman; Treasurer, Arline Daugherty. In October a “hard-time party” was held at Spring Hill, which was well attended. This year finds us at our height in Athletics, Honorary, Literary, Dramatics, Glee Club and Orchestra. We, the Senior Class of ’29, desire to express our sincere appreciation to the Faculty for their untiring efforts to benefit us. —Lucille Meyer. 1929 THE SWASTIKIAN Page Eleven Charline Begin Marcus Bornhorst Ethel Brandon Bernard Buxton Alma Bruns Melvin Fast Nelle Coffield Chalmer Hesson Bertha Cramer Paul Recker Eva Fiebiger John Hough Lucille Francis Raymond Marchal Evelyn Meyers Oswald Grillot Luella Petitjean Donald Hile Glenys Rhoades Norman Kley Dorothy Schilling Ralph Labig Coral Sebring Charles Lange Marthalee Seman Richard Manning Lois Harman Verner Oehrtman Amelia Simon Orlan Oliver Marion Trittschuh Robert Routzohn Esther Worch Harold Schumacher Veatch Smith Curtis Baltes Joyce Stamm Glen Bennett Werner Stuck George Berry William Varner Carl Boyer Lawrence Wimmers Kenneth Bey Alfred Wickard Page Twelve THE SWASTIKIAN 19 2 9 JUNIORS In September, 1926, sixty-one Frosh entered the old School building. In March they had a few days’ vacation, in which they moved the necessary school equipment to temporary quarters near Fountain Square. Pupils watched the workmen destroy the old building and erect the new one during the next few weeks. Annabel Brandon, Clara Emerick, Bonita Sargent, Sarah Starr, Carrie Trittschuh, Edson Mathews and Gale Shatto left during the first year. Leona Fritz died December 28, 1926. The next Autumn saw these helping to initiate the new freshmen and the newly married Faculty members. On Hallowe’en they enjoyed a masque party at the home of Ethel Brandon. On January 3, along with the others, they entered the new school, which was quite in contrast with the old one. At the end of the year they enjoyed a picnic at Edgewater Park. Later in the day they went to Evergreen. From there some came home, but the remainder of the crowd went to Weaver’s Grove, and spent a most enjoyable evening. The Class of ’30 organized November 1, when they elected the following officers: President, Marion Trittschuh; Vice-President, Orlan Oliver; Secretary, Eva Fiebiger; Treasurer, John Hough. At a meeting, called to order November 10, by the president, the Junior Class decided to put out an annual. Miss A. M. Jones was Faculty adviser. The Editorial staff was appointed by Mr. James Garner. In October, a wiener roast was held at Harman’s farm. Mr. Garner, Miss Jones and Miss Barnhart chaperoned the affair. Luck was with the Juniors in the Inter-Class Basketball tournament, for both teams won. To celebrate, they arranged a coasting and skating party. When the day came for it, the temperature was 5 degrees below zero. However, about half of the class, Miss Jones and Mr. Garner attended. Juniors selected a yellow gold class ring with a red stone on which is their emblem in gold. After several disputes, the class decided upon red and white as Class Colors. A number of profitable candy sales were conducted at the school during the year, as well as athletic games. 19 2 9 THE SWASTIK1AN Page Thirteen SOPHOMORE Osa Butts Adolph Althoff John Apple Dean Bigham Thomas Boomershine Donald Fields Harry Frantz John Hannan Carl Hardman Robert Hardman Robert Harn Ardath Marker Richard Grillot Walter Apple Rolland Kissinger Kenneth Medford Harry Plessinger Carl Poly Elmer Rismiller Florence Schieltz Carl St. Myers Hugh Smith Paul Trittschuh James Weaver Mary Ayette Gertrude Banks Marguerite Begien Pauline Blakely Virginia Brown Bernice Byrd La Rue Byrd Edith Deeter Dorthabel Gerlach Evelyn Goubeaux Martha Ullery Etta Deeter Elizabeth Death Leona Hesson Mary Hole Claribel Kimmel Emereda Liette Jeanette Miller Kenneth Medford Jessie Nisonger Thelma Oliver Lova Spillers Dorothea Simon Thelma Sargent Page Fourteen THE SWASTIKIAN 19 2 9 SOPHOMORES The Sophomore Class of 1929 fully believes that it was the cause for building of the new school house. When the School Board saw who was coming into the building in 1928, realization dawned that something would have to be done. It can be truthfully said that the 31’s made up the greenest class that ever cast an eye on the High School rooms. It enjoyed the novel experience of beginning school in the Lemoine hall, where it took advantage of all afforded opportunities. Members did such things as throwing paper out on Main street, and looking at the traffic jams that occur so often in our village. Others might have broken down under the strain, but these brave hearts overcame the ordeal. They survived, having nearly as much knowledge as if they had started in the new building. On January 2, 1928, they entered the new school building. All spare moments were spent looking at the new wonders that were theirs. ’31 had representatives in everything from the band to the basketball team. We were well supplied with bright answers to give the seniors, for we had spent much of the former years thinking them up. There were many Freshmen whose names appeared on the honor roll each six weeks. About February we realized that school would soon be over and if we had yet work to do, it was time to get busy. Longing for our beginning was nothing to our longing for its end. At least I can say that for most of the pupils. We finished our Freshman year with a much enjoyed picnic at Edgewater Park. We returned to school in September, thoroughly tired of our vacation. We went through the usual excitement of picking new seats, and looking at the pictures in our class rooms. In several weeks we became accustomed to the grind and began working. We missed the seniors terribly, but of course there was a new class to take their place. A crowd of new faces: those of the bright Freshmen .appeared upon the scene. We can now look at them with amusement. All the fine things we did in our Freshman year, we repeated in our Sophomore year; in fact, we improved greatly. In October we had a Hallowe’en party at the home of our President, Paul Trittschuh. We had a fine time and expect to have just as good a one—which we hope to have soon. We have for our faculty adviser, Miss Smith, who is ready at all times to help us over the troubles that befall our path. The Sophomores have a fine class spirit, which we can safely say will carry us through with success to our Senior year. —Martha Ullery, ’31. 19 2 9 THE SWASTIKIAN Page Fifteen FRESH MEN Edwin Brandon Francis Armstrong Delbert Brown Estella Baltes Elbert Brown Lucille Bennett Richard Coffield Ruth Fiebiger Robert Davidson Margaret Gerlach Elmer Drees Rita Grillot Robert Everhart Alice Hoke Ralph Fiebiger Helen Ilgen Edward Gerlach Lillian Jacobi Leonard Gigandet Gladys Johnson Giles Gilbert Alice Keeler Gerald Grillot Mildred Labig Frederick Haines Veronica Magoto Paul Heins Verdice Mangen William Kelch Theodora Payne Lester Long Dorothy Pequignot Harold Oehrtman Wilma Petitjean Russell Oehrtman Ethel Schieltz Francis Petitjean Bertha Mae Stover Jackson Phillips Edith Stuck Walter Rhoades Delma Troutman Leroy Rudolph Helen Trittschuh Frederick Schilling Betty Urquhart Warren Seman Helen Ward Joseph Shappie Donald Banks Luther Sherry Carl Barga George Troutman Newton Beal Edson Vance Dwight Berry George Wasson Roy Border Emerson Brown Doris Brandon Kenneth Good Casper Magoteaux Page Sixteen THE SWASTIKIAN 19 2 9 FRESHMEN On the first day of school, September, 1928, sixty students were enrolled in the Freshman class, which is the largest in the history of the school. During the year, two students, Theodora Payne and Edison Vance, left Versailles High for other schools. Kenneth Good entered during the second semester. The first meeting of the Class of ’32 was held for the purpose of organization, when the following officers were elected : Frederick Haines, president; George Wasson, vice-president; Betty Urquhart, secretary; Walter Rhoades, treasurer; Robert Everhart, reporter. Early in Autumn, the Freshman Class held a weiner roast at Se-nian’s farm, two miles north of Versailles. Approximately fifty, including Faculty and students, were present. Betty Urquhart was elected assistant cheer-leader. She is also a member of the Girls’ basketball squad. George Wasson, ’32, was a member of the football and basketball squads. Richard Coffield and Warren Seman also belonged to the basketball team. The Freshman boys’ team, in the Inter-class Basketball tournament, played the Juniors, and were honorably defeated. The Freshman Girls played the Seniors and were also defeated. —Gerald Grillot and Robert Everhart, ’32. 19 2 9 THE SWASTIKIAN Page Seventeen HIGH SCHOOL POEM Take a green little Freshie, Who says they’re not peppy? Let them simmer down, with care, To a situation rare. ’Tis a studious Sophomore, Tossed into this fortune, With lots of action That will give good satisfaction. Dash off with a bright Junior, With joy that will not perish. Garnish with personal style Both correct and well worth while. Top off with a snappy Senior, Who thinks he’s a professor; Our hearts with their memories And our own I’m sure we’ll remember. ’Tis a good looking teacher That puts them ashore. When the last star falls, Remember we’ll conquer it all. —Mary Belle Subler. 19 2 9 THE SWASTIK1AN Page Nineteen C T H V E T I Page Twenty THE SWASTIKIAN 19 2 9 SWASTIKIAN 19 2 9 Editor-in-Chief Business Manager Treasurer Sales Manager Typist Photos Athletics Activities Artist Reporter Joke Editor Snapshots Faculty Adviser 19 2 9 THE SWA ST1KI AN Page Twenty-one SWASTIKIAN 1929 The preparation of the V. H. S. Annual, “The Swastikian”, is each year intrusted to the Junior Class. In our work on the 1929 Annual, the class being represented by 48 students, twelve committees, consisting of a leader and three other members, were chosen. In this way each individual had a direct interest and feeling of personal responsibility in the successful representation of our High School year and its activities. Mr. James Garner has acted as class adviser in cases needing impartial suggestions. Much praise is due Miss A. M. Jones for her tireless efforts as Annual adviser. In this capacity she has done the actual work of supervising the planning, the printing, engraving and compilation of the book.

H. Everhart as Faculty advisers. These societies develop the student along literary lines; and their value can not be stressed too much. The several programs were interesting. Instructive talks about great men have increased historical knowledge and cultivated a greater interest in school work. Page Twenty-six THE SWAST1KI AN 19 2 9 V. H. S.

Each week nearly four columns of news were published in The Versailles Policy. Staff members were paid in grades, when their strings of printed stories were handed in to the adviser, Miss A. M. Jones. V. H. S. News is the proud possessor of a book that was awarded last year in the Ohio Schools Journalism contest at Ohio University. It was given first place in its class for an editorial written by Mary Etter. During the Second Semester, Kenneth Coffield, ’29, assumed editorship of the News; Bernard Smith, the star reporter of ’28, agreed to work on the paper; and Gerald Grillot, ’32, as club reporter, was added to the staff. 19 2 9 THE SWASTIKIAN Page Thirty-five ATHLETICS Page Thirty-six THE SWASTIKIAN 19 2 9 FOOTBALL There sems to have been a black cat, or another symbol of bad luck, following our team throughout the football season of 1928. We went through the season, emerging with but one victory, and that being over a strong team at West Alexandria. Frantz was the hero, running 50 yards through their entire team for the winning touchdown. We were led on the field this year by an able field general, Captain “Stagg” Ward, who put forth all efforts to get the co-operation of the team, which seemed to lack spirit in some way, due, perhaps, to the symbol of bad luck following them. Our Coach, Mr. Kemp, put much time and effort to bring out a winning team, but perhaps the jinx was on him as well as the team. He, with Captain Ward, can share the credit of having a scoring team surpassing those in points scored in years before by winning teams. We must also remember the rest of the squad who helped to make it successful in this manner. Veatch Smith can be said to have been an outstanding player, for he never failed to gain from fullback position. Kenneth Bey held down the position in great form this year, which helped the team. The season could perhaps be called a success, due to the fact that we held our strongest rivals, Bradford, to a scoreless tie, thus closing the season successfully. We will lose four regulars by graduation this year, who will be greatly missed in 1929. These are: Burl Marker, George Ward, Lowell Apple, and our center, Harold Pearson, who worked great at his post in the center of the line. 19 2 9 THE SWA S T I K I A N Page Thirty-seven REVIEW OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON OF 1928 V.

The team showed up well in the first three games,but went back into last place. There were no stalwart players this year, but John Hough seems to have been the outstanding player, and also holds the honors of high scorer. The team, perhaps, could have made a better showing but for the bad luck. Some of the boys failed in the first semester, and some were thrown off the squad for breaking rules. The luck was changed as they came through with a victory over Hollansburg, by a field goal in the last minute of play by Hough. The boys had a horse-shoe as a mascot, but from then on it could not counteract the jinx. Mr. Garner worked them plenty, but to no avail, because they just couldn’t get going. They entered the tournament and played a brilliant game against Ansonia, but came out defeated as the season ended. We are looking forward to a great team next year, as none of the boys are lost by graduation. 19 2 9 THE SWAST1KIAN Page Thirty-nine BASKETBALL REVIEW OF 1928 - 1929 Versailles 8 Ansonia 10 Versailles 20 Jackson 26 Versailles 10 Franklin 28 Versailles 14 Alumni 30 Versailles 8 North Star 16 Versailles 20 Bradford 35 Versailles 19 New Madison 23 Versailles 15 Ansonia 21 Versailles 18 Hollansburg 17 Versailles 6 New Madison 41 Versailles 27 North Star 28 Versailles 13 Gettysburg 38 Versailles 6 Jackson 59 Page Forty THE SWASTIKIAN 19 2 9 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The Girls’ Basketball team of 1928 and 1929 had favorable luck throughout the season, having won seven games and lost t hree. The girls started off with a success. Seman and Watson shared the forward position equally well, both showing great form. The center of the floor was equally well taken care of by Michael and Begin. The guard positions were also well taken care of by Capt. Falknor and Evelyn Meyers. The success of the team also greatly depended upon the coaching ability of Mrs. Kemp. She had a good line-up. Each one worked through the season, taking their share of injuries. They entered the tournament, but were defeated by the strong Arcanum team after they had made a brilliant come-back in the third quarter. V. H. S. loses by graduation, Capt. “Diddy” Falknor, “Genny” Michael, and Harriet Watson. These will be very hard to replace. Charline Begin will captain the Girls’ team next year. All look forward to a successful season. 19 2 9 THE SWASTIKIAN Page Forty-one Versailles ...............20 Versailles ...............13 Versailles ...............11 Versailles ...............20 Versailles ...............27 Versailles ...............16 Versailles ...............23 Versailles ...............43 Versailles ............... 9 Versailles ...............42 Ansonia ............. 4 Jackson .............10 Franklin ............18 Alumni .............. 7 Alumni .............. 9 New Madison..........17 Ansonia ........... 9 Hollansburg ......... 4 Gettysburg ..........17 Jackson .............16 Page Forty-two THE SWASTIKIAN 19 2 9 A MYSTERY IS NOW SOLVED! There is no most popular person in Versailles High School.

Siftin’ lookin’— Lots of things to see, And the way is very clear; One often stops to wonder Why there are such a chosen few here. Sittin’; lookin’— Some bad tracks there are, too; Guess some get out in the fog And can’t make it through, Whistlin’ back a liag. Not even tryin’ to pull off the drag. Sittin’; lookin’— Some stand still and take all the bumps, Blamin’ everybody but themselves ’Cause they couldn’t make the bumps. Some get into reverse and wonder Why they can’t go. Sittin’; lookin’— You see one down-hearted and sad, ’Cause they see others makin’ the grade And ’cause they never get mad ; Others all happy and gay ’Cause they have gone the right way. Sittin’; lookin’— You have to stop and think Why some make the grade and others go plink ! But God made us all equal, they say— Some work harder than others may. Sittin’; lookin’— At the blue sky above; And you wonder why all can’t be loved— Lo! you see one’s faults so plain, You really can’t love them, but give them the blame. Sittin’; lookin’— And every now and then See some brother strugglin’ up the grade— And long to go and help him Make the best run ever made. 19 2 9 THE SWASTIKIAN Page Forty-five Sittin’; lookin’— At the white mountain peak, Wondering if we could grow so big; Some really do— But, believe me, they try hard, too. Sittin’; lookin’— One sees not much, But a-plenty to give the heart a touch— When you see one that had taken the wrong path And never tried to work himself back. Sittin’; lookin’— Why not gaze upon the things aright And make the only life we got, bright; Try and see if you can better think— By just sittin’, lookin’. —Evelyn Meyers, ’30. Page Forty-six THE SWASTIKIAN 19 2 9 RETRIBUTION Ye gods! What strange events take place! (It seems like retribution.) Veatch Smith steps up and says, “I want an Annual contribution.” “Ha! Ha!” said I, with wonderment, and genuine dismay, “Who in the world do you think I am— Edna St. Vincent Miliary?” “Why, no,” said Veatch, “you’re not so bad ! We used your other verse; Just go ahead and try again,— It couldn’t be much worse!” With that he hustled off to class And left me to depart— A pleasant smile upon my face, And murder in my heart. The bitter truth cut soully deep, I knew I was no poet;— But I’d done pretty well so far, So no one else will know it. So now I’m going to hand this verse in And Veatch will think it’s verse, To fill a little bit of space And make the Annual worse. And don’t be surprised to find (Despite his prophecy) My verse this time is worse,—much worse— It’s even bad for me! 19 2 9 THE SW ASTIK1 AN Page Forty-seven .LEAP YEAR FLAPPERS Ten little flappers, standing in a line— Reta took George, and then there were nine.
